Billick- Contract Ext. Longer than 1 Year

From PFT:

BILLICK DISPUTES CONTRACT REPORT

Ravens coach Brian Billick disagrees with a recent report from the Baltimore Sun that his recent contract extension with the team was a one-year deal worth $5.4 million. Under those terms, Billick would be signed through 2008 only.

"None of it's correct," Billick said Thursday night.

Though Billick wouldn't reveal the details, he called the contract a "substantial commitment" that "[a]bsolutely" extends beyond the 2008 season.

The Sun says that the Ravens, Raiders, and Patriots are the only three teams who keep quiet the basic terms of their coaches' contracts.

"We don't ever want my contract to be an issue for the organization or the players," Billick said. "It's best for the team for it not to be an issue."

Re: Billick- Contract Ext. Longer than 1 Year

This is good news. The longer Billick is here, the better. He's a very good, as his record indicates, and it's unlikely we'd be able to get a better one. It's good to see long-tenured coaches in this league
